International Supervision on Temporary Hold
 
Hearings postponed at least until November 21
The stay prevents the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBCJA) from imposing immediate "supervision" over the independent BC Carpenters Union, its 7000 members, and their union's assets.

"The stay allows the Labour Board to hear our complaint that this American takeover of an autonomous BC union is hostile, unwarranted, illegal, and unjust. The UBCJA has no mandate, legal or from the membership, to take us over and we must remain vigilant in protecting the members' assets," says Embree, the elected BC Carpenters Union's President.

Americans plan to invade our Vancouver union offices
 
McCarron threatens hostile takeover of BC Carpenters Union
"This is like a bad Hollywood war movie," said BC Provincial Council President Len Embree. "Without any BC membership support or mandate, the UBCJA is invading Canada and trying to muscle control over our smaller independent Canadian union. These Americans plan to invade our Vancouver union offices like we are living in Baghdad."
